Lahore: It was unfortunate to see that in Metro Bus Service (MBS) some women were harassed by men. The service was inaugurated on 10th February and till four weeks the bus service will be free. On Monday overcrowding, ill-discipline was seen. Many people stayed on the bus for hours to take rounds and enjoy the ride. Some windows and doors were also broken by passengers but authorities failed to arrest anyone.
According to Metro Bus Service authorities the bus would run every three minutes and will be available at every stop after three minutes, but this was not the case, as 15-20 minutes gap was seen between the buses. Some women were harassed on several buses. Women complained that it was not a good idea that men and women compartments are same. Unlike other public buses in the province, there is no separate section for women on the articulated Metro Bus Service.
Many passengers waiting for the bus complained to our correspondent that they waited for almost an hour for the Metro Bus but either they were not coming and if they were coming they were not stopping on the Stop because of no space in the bus.
Metro Bus Service (MBS) General Manager Uzair Shah said on the siuatuon of Bus Service that the events of the day were “a well-planned conspiracy to make the service fail”.
